The wild bird crop at Bogg Hall Barns has proved to be particularly attractive to this species in the winter with an impressive count of 98 on 30th November 2010 being by some margin the largest count on the farm and counts of 20-30 rather more typical. The breeding surveys have recorded breeding populations varying from a peak of nine territories in 2011 to three territories in 2016.
